The goal of this meeting is to enhance ontology coordination in relation to plant genomics, proteomics and related fields. A special focus will be the ontological treatment of diseases and phenotypes in relation to all organisms.

This is the second meeting of the new IKFC Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Affinity Group which has been established to leverage the use of common ontologies to support different aspects of information-driven clinical and translational research. The focus of the meeting is to explore new and existing uses of common ontologies to support sharing and discovery of data and resources, researcher networking, and particularly to support the evaluation of research.
